[QUOTE="steve.milner, post: 72523, member: 182665"] Hi, Just a thought, but I did my own DIY installation with some of the infamous LIDL equipment and a technomate 5500ci super, along with a lot of help from the guys on the board here! When I was trying to sort out my arc, I found that if the signal strength meter was plugged in (ie box>motor in>motor out>meter in>meter out>LNB) then the box could no longer move the dish and the general signal quality went down. Also, during the chaos that was my DIY-installation-adventure, I also mixed up the leads going into the motor, ie box lead into LNB socket, etc. This caused the motor to feck around quite considerably and, obviously, the box couldn't control it with USALS. Last thing I read was that try a new cable length. I managed to damage mine being slightly over-enthusiastic pulling it in through the window frame hole. You may want to try a completely new set of leads and ends. Best of luck Steve :) [/QUOTE]
